This quest is similar to gathering Silithyst in old-time Kalimdor, or Element 115 in Venture Bay. This item can be found in several places on Thunder Isle, and it's a bright tear-shaped rock, so just grab it on your way back from your other dailies. I say "back from" because, like Silithyst and Element 115, mounting or dying will cause you to drop the Moganite. This has different effects from those other items: it creates a bright beacon that makes the carrier easily noticed, but the carrier's attacks also have a chance to unleash a lightning bolt for additional damage.

After completing the quest, you will get Essence of Moganite which increases your run speed by 5% for 15 minutes.

I don't think it's intentional, but today (3/11) when my realm unlocked this daily, I mounted with the Moganite and did not drop it.

Also, in order to 'complete' this quest you actually have to walk to ~melee range of the questgiver (in this case, Warmage Yurias).

Look around your minimap for gears, those should tell your where the morganite is

If you want to make killing rares easier, try carrying charged moganite with you. The lightning strike does a percentage of their health, for example Goda, who has roughly 10 million, a lightning strike will do around 500000 damage and will crit for around 900000!

I can also confirm that mounting still does not drop the Charged Moganite.

Also, for all the stealthies out there looking to save some time, you can actually complete this quest in the enemy base!

Yesterday, a Horde Mage was annoying me during the Pyrestar Demolisher quest, so instead I started annoying him by sapping him everywhere he went, or blinding, or garrote / vanishing. Even in his base. After a couple mins of some fun interference I decided to finish off my quests, walked by the Horde quest-giver and BOOM. Charged Moganite completed.

I will try this again today, and edit if it doesn't work. However, if it does, stealthies will now be able to complete all dailies in the enemy base and simply port back using www.wowhead.com/item=95567/kirin-tor-beaconhttp://, which previously you were unable to do I assume because of the Moganite. Hurray for shortcuts!

Edit: Yes, it still works, just walk up to High Arcanist Savor as an Ally and the moganite will be given in. I am assuming the same works for the Horde in the Kirin Tor base.

You can still use Kirin Tor Beacon while carrying the Charged Moganite. To do so, pick up the moganite after you've finished the other quests or drop it (rightclick your buff or use /cancelaura) and pick it up again. While picking it up (which has a ~1 sec cast time), use the teleporter item. You just have to be fast enough.

I picked up the moganite and then ran around doing the rest of the quests. You can mount with it and it will not be dropped!

Btw to find it, run around the swamp area and look for "gears" on your mini-map. Easy enough to find after a min or two.
